Summary of features in the command-line version

• Allows developer to easily identify and print the licenses which cover all files in a library, only those components included in a work, or a single file, even when the license text is stored in a file separate from the source. (See How LIDESC identifies licensing of a file and Creating license stamps for files)
  
  
• The system can report when a locally unapproved license is used, or when certain incompatible licenses are used. (Depending on appropriate license description files.) (See Marking licenses as locally unapproved and Reporting when incompatible licenses are used)
  
  
• For C and C++, the system generates code which will embed notices in binary derivatives (as required by some licenses.) This is similar to the id strings used by RCS/CVS or SCCS. (See Creating license stamps for files)
  
  
• Can indicate licensing of binary and non-text files, without changing them.
  (See Creating license stamps for files)
  
  
• Designed to be extended with new license files and certified description and analysis files (from legal professionals, for example.) See Extending LIDESC)
